202 When the Ancient Tree is Reborn
Elven Spring.
The meadow looked like it was only a few hundred paces in circumference, but Allegri seemed to be trekking through a vast grassland. Feeling the fog rising around him, he raised his head in some surprise and cautiously looked around him.
He had just walked dozens of steps on the grass, but when he turned his head, he found that there was a blur behind him, and the people in the square could only see a shadow, but they couldn't distinguish the specific appearance.
Sure enough, this holy land of the elven clan is not as simple as it seems.
Allegri took a deep breath and walked on, but as he walked, there was a silent silence, and a low and distant song suddenly sounded around him.
The grass under his feet was as soft as water, and he seemed to be walking on clouds. Everything in front of him was as hazy as if in the clouds, only the clear spring in the distance was as clear as ever, guiding his direction.
But the sound that seemed to be whispering in his ears was like a mysterious incantation, and he could clearly feel a strong pulling force around him, which made the souls hidden deep in his body loosen, and there was a faint urge to scatter his soul.
Allegri was startled, stopped, and subconsciously communicated the power of the dream.
Allegri ...... Be careful...... The clear spring itself also has a certain defensive power, and it is a special attack against the soul. The green mist spread, and the old voice rumbled in his head.
Allegri hurriedly asked, "What should I do?"
"The power of communicating dreams, enveloping your whole body, will not arouse Qingquan's alertness......" Old Gu whispered about the points that should be paid attention to, and Allegri hurriedly followed his guidance, slowly communicating the power of the Emerald Dream to protect himself.
The green mist that filled the air gradually attached to his body. His bare skin took on a pale green. At the same time, the murmurs of unknown voices around him became intimate, as if they had changed from an unchanging attack to a gentle caressing.
But that's not what Allegri cared about, he looked at his hands dumbfounded, and said in a hurry, "Old Gu...... What's wrong with me. Why did you turn green?"
"Oh...... This is the embodiment of the embodiment of the power of the dream realm, and there is no harm," Lao Gu explained, and then enthusiastically recommended, "This fresh green was the most popular color in our race back then, don't you like it?"
Allegri pursed his lips, he couldn't guess who would like this green color, but seeing that Lao Gu was so enthusiastic, he could only ask another question that he was more concerned about. "This ...... Old ...... I don't think that's the color on my head, right?"
"You'll see for yourself in a moment......" Old Gu said in a low voice, "Let's go, I can already feel the kind call of the force." ”
“…… By the way, Gu," Allegri asked, nodding, feeling the kindness around him. "How do I feel so close to me, and do you have any special relationship?"
"What about this......" Lao Gu hesitated for a moment, then replied happily. "Because, Qingquan is like a mother to our race, and we are the children she raised, so we will naturally be welcomed by her. ”
"I see," Allegri nodded abruptly. "Then you should be kind enough to come back here, right?"
"Of course, of course," Gu laughed. "I can't wait. ”
Allegri felt his mood, smiled and walked forward quickly, the ten-foot clear spring, not far ahead, reflecting the sky and clouds, wandering freely.
******
The square outside the clear spring.
Overkille stood quietly at the edge of the square, his head bowed, his verdant wooden staff clutched in his hands. The speaker of the "Clear Spring Council", the controller of the nine-story "Green Tower", was like an ordinary elven sentry at this time, guarding the entrance and exit to the clear spring, not allowing anyone to pass through.
Speaking of which, this is also the original purpose of the establishment of the "Qingquan Council" tens of thousands of years ago.
Perrin stood beside him, staring at the other end of the square, his gaze suddenly frozen, and whispered, "Your Majesty, my lord. ”
Overkill nodded, stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Queen." ”
"Your Excellency Speaker," the Elf Queen walked over slowly, and immediately looked in the direction of Qingquan, but there was an infinite mist there, and she couldn't see anything clearly, she frowned slightly, stared at Overkill, and asked, "Your Excellency Speaker came to Qingquan, I'm afraid it's against the ancestral teachings, right?"
"I haven't set foot on an inch of clear springs, so how can I be rebellious?" said Offkill, smiling slightly, gesturing to his feet.
"But I've heard that Your Excellency the Speaker ordered the sentinels to get out of the way, and let a human into it?" asked the Elven Queen.
"You have wronged me, Your Majesty the Queen," Overkill, still with a faint smile on his face, pointed to Evelola beside the Queen, and said, "This so-called human, but a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I saw that the elven sentinels actually obstructed it, so they helped out righteously, I don't know what's wrong?"
He had a stern face here, and the Elven Queen, who was familiar with his character, almost laughed out loud at him, when could this Overkillr be associated with words like righteousness?
"Overkill, you and I grew up together, and you still want to lie to me like this?" the Elven Queen snorted dissatisfiedly, "What are you planning this time, and what is the secret of that human?"
"Your Majesty's ......" Overkillr looked at the elven queen's face and shook his head helplessly for a long time, "Well, I'll tell you, that human is a dream communicator. ”
"Dream communicator, you Offkill......" When the Elven Queen heard this, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly turned her head and ordered, "Eve, go and call out that friend of yours." ”
Evelola agreed, and hurriedly walked towards the clear spring, but Offkille smiled and whispered a few words, and a faint green curtain suddenly rose, blocking every entrance and exit into the "clear spring".
"What are you doing here, Overkill?" said the Elven Queen, "has the strength really blinded you?" or have you really decided to break with me once and for all?"
"Your Majesty's ......" Overkill glanced at the Elf Queen, the tenderness hidden in the deepest part of the year flashed, but what finally appeared in his eyes was still the vision of the flowers blooming and falling, which seemed mysterious and cold, he lowered his voice and said slowly, "From the moment I chose to take charge of the 'Green Tower', we have embarked on different paths. If there is chaos and swords and soldiers are everywhere, it is an opportunity for my elven clan to rise again......"
"That's enough, Overkill!" the queen scolded, "The Council of the Springs has already destroyed the elves once, do you want to repeat the same mistakes now?"
"We don't want to rule the continent again, but at least we don't want to let others do what we do now. We can't stay out of the matter like this anymore, but we have to get involved in the chaos of the continent and become a powerful force with the right to speak," Overkill's deep voice, "Your Majesty, except for the Sprinkled Moon Spring Forest, the young elves in all the tribes have this general idea, this is an irresistible trend, after thousands of years of downturn, the elves will surely rise again!"
"The amount of magic power is indeed the devil who induces people to the abyss, and you are going to leave me too, Overkill......" The elf queen looked at him with a lonely gaze, and only after a long time shook her head, took a half step back, and shouted, "Attack!"
Overkill's eyes froze, and he hurried a few words at Perrin, took a deep breath, and thrust the verdant wooden staff in his hand into the ground in front of him.
Perrin nodded, and before the other party's attack could be launched, he had already flown towards the periphery of the Sprinkled Moon Spring Forest. Overkill ordered him to lead reinforcements to him, and with his strength, it would not be difficult to break through the outer defenses when all the defenses of the Sprinkled Moon Springs were mobilized to attack Overkill.
But before he threw himself into the bushes and escaped completely, he still subconsciously glanced back.
Countless brilliant magic spells and arrows carrying powerful power rained down on Offkill, and between the brilliant light and shadow, the archmage's upright figure was clearly recognizable. The wooden staff in front of him turned into the shadow of a large tree, and the vast magic of nature surged out, sweeping across the square like a tidal wave.
Even at such a distance, he was still able to invoke part of the force of the "Green Tower". In the faint sunset, the towering magic tower, emerald green magic patterns lit up one after another, and the surrounding power was mobilized to provide support for the battle of the tower master in the distance.
The radical faction of the elves is composed of the "Clear Spring Council" and the "Jungle Patrolman", which includes most of the elven mages and low-level rangers. The elven queen of the Moon Spring Forest has won the allegiance of all the moon god priests in the "Moon God Temple", and also has the holy land of "Clear Spring", as well as the support of many high-level elf warriors.
Therefore, in the current field, the Moon God's punishment magic and powerful arrows are the main force attacking Offkill, which even includes more than a dozen high-ranking professionals. This made Overkill, who had the support of the "Green Tower", pale after a few rounds of attacks.
After all, with such a feat as a group, it is no longer something that a middle-aged uncle like him can easily bear. What's more, he didn't want to use a damaging large-scale spell, which would only consume the strength of the elves in vain.
The Elven Queen also knew this, and her purpose was only to drag down Offkillr in the shortest possible time and prevent Allegri from resurrecting the "Ancient Tree of War" Gudhardus, and she did not mean to put the other party to death.
The two sides that were in the middle of the fierce battle didn't care about the changes in Qingquan.
Only Evelola, in the blink of an eye, suddenly saw that the fog that shrouded the entire "Elven Spring" was rapidly converging towards the center of the meadow, as if the clear spring was inhaling them in one gulp, and the vision of the past was unprecedentedly clear.
And beside the clear spring, a figure familiar to her was crouching on the shore, hesitantly reaching out to the surface of the spring. (To be continued......)
